are you asking me? the only one i can recognize from different angles is double headlights.

 

[GuRoux]

How important is recognising CMLL cases from different angles?

at your level, not much. all double headlights case and Pi cases should be easy to do. It is definitely an advantage so no harm learning it.

I was asking anyone. Cool, I'm just learning them all now, and so far I've done sune and anti sune. I'll work on different angles once I've learned them all, I guess!

What is the pi case? Is it blinkers or Bruno?

 

[rybaby]

The only ones that I can recognize from all angles are H and Pi cases. But I should probably learn the others.

I don't know these terms... I know the 7 orientation cases as headlights, Bruno, double headlights, blinkers, sune, antisune, and L.

If only the internet had a search function... pi is where the back corners are rotated anticlockwise, and the front two are rotated clockwise.
And I don't know, but I imagine H is double headlights.

lol thanks

Headlights = U
Bruno = Pi
Double headlights = Double Sune = H
Blinkers = T
Bowtie = Triple Sune = L

Then just S/AS

There might be other names but these are the most common.

I am close to sub-30 with roux yay

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

nice. at your level, just keep doing solves. start thinking about different ways to do your blocks in less moves. Keep with 2 look cmll for now. try improving lse fingertricks. Learning how to double flick with your left hand so you can do M' with your right hand helps.

 

[JediJupiter]

Edit: oh boy you weren't even talking to me.

 

[tpt8899]

I do all my M (and M' and M2) moves with my left hand (thus leaving my right hand for fingertricks). Is this a good idea?

I would say so! I think most people do.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

if it works for you then sure. why not.

Hey fellow Rouxers,
I am stuck, very stuck.
I am at sub-30, consistently around-23-27 seconds.
Any advice for 1st block?
I am really impatient and find it hard to plot my first block square (2x2x1) or the entire block, any tips?
Also learning CMLL, done with Triple Sune (H) and Sune.
Also should I just mirror the CMLL algs for anti-sune with my left hand? Ty

i mainly do mirrors. sometimes, instead of mirroring sune algs for antisune, mirror antisune algs for sune. for first block just first try to plan 2x2x1 and track the rest of the pieces. take as long as you need in inspection and try doing it blindfolded. you'll get better and better at doing it after some practice.

mirroring sune for anti sune worked for me.

Any tips on what other CMLL set I should memorize next, H and Sune (mirror for Anti-Sune TY) now what? .3.
EDIT: Also your video on BU recognition really sparked an interest, I can assure you that that recognition will drop my times.
MOAR advanced Roux XD
